Fans of the dark fantasy isekai series “Re:Monster” have reason to celebrate, as a second season of the anime adaptation has been officially announced. The news was revealed on Thursday, September 25, 2025, by production company Infinite, which also unveiled a new teaser visual for the upcoming season. While details regarding a release date are still under wraps, the confirmation signals a continuation of Gobrou’s unique journey through a world where consuming fallen foes leads to monstrous evolution.
What We Know About Re:Monster Season 2
The announcement confirms that “Re:Monster” will continue its anime run, following the successful broadcast of its first season in Spring 2024. The initial season, produced by Studio Deen, comprised 12 episodes and was simulcast globally by Crunchyroll, which also provided English dubs.
Production Details and Returning Talent
While a specific release date for the second season remains unconfirmed, industry watchers anticipate that the earliest possible window for its debut might be in 2027, given the extensive and intricate nature of anime production. The first season was directed by Takayuki Inagaki, with Hiroshi Yamaguchi handling series composition, Junichi Takaoka designing the characters, and Go Sakabe composing the music.
Several key voice cast members are confirmed to return for the second season, including Takuya Satou as Aporou (Gobrou), Kenta Hosoda as Minokichi, Ai Kakuma as Kanami, Kana Ueda as Asue, Mai Kanno as The Redhead, and Nene Hieda as Rubilia.
Source Material and Story Potential
The “Re:Monster” anime is based on the light novel series penned by Kogitsune Kanekiru and illustrated by Yamaada. The original light novel series concluded with nine volumes. Crucially, the first anime season only adapted the initial three volumes of the light novel, leaving a substantial amount of source material available for future animated content.
Furthermore, Kanekiru launched a sequel light novel series titled “Re:Monster: Ankoku Tairiku-hen” (Re:Monster: The Dark Continent) in 2018, which is still ongoing. This ensures a rich and continuing narrative foundation for the anime to explore for many seasons to come.
The World of Re:Monster
The story of “Re:Monster” centers on Tomokui Kanata, a human who meets an untimely demise and is reincarnated as a lowly goblin named Gobrou. In this new fantastical world of swords and magic, Gobrou (later known as Aporou or Rou) possesses a unique ability: he can grow stronger by consuming other creatures and acquiring their strengths and powers.
This monstrous appetite and his memories from his previous life allow him to rapidly evolve, leading him to rise through the ranks of goblin society and beyond. The series offers a compelling blend of action, adventure, and isekai fantasy as Gobrou navigates a brutal world where only the strong survive. Crunchyroll describes the series as an “overwhelming evolution growth survival” story.
Looking Ahead
While a concrete release date and further production details for “Re:Monster” Season 2 are eagerly awaited, the official announcement has ignited excitement among its fanbase. With a wealth of source material and a unique premise, the continued adaptation promises more monstrous adventures and evolutions for Gobrou and his growing horde.
